EA allows AFC to sell hydrogen produced by cracker
AFC Energy Plc has received revised permit approval from the UK Environment Agency, allowing the export and sale of low carbon hydrogen produced from its pilot ammonia cracking plant, accelerating revenue generation by several months. This development confirms the production of ISO 14687 grade D hydrogen and the robustness of the company's safety protocols. The pilot plant at Dunsfold can produce up to 300kg of hydrogen per day, and AFC Energy is collaborating with its joint venture partner, Industrial Chemicals Group Ltd, to establish multiple Hy-5 units at their Port Clarence facility, aiming for accelerated permitting for future deployments across the UK.

AFC Energy permitted to export and sell its own low carbon hydrogen, produced from its pilot ammonia cracking plant, following revision of permit from the UK Environment Agency
AFC Energy (AIM: AFC), a leading provider of ammonia based low carbon hydrogen production and hydrogen-to-power solutions at a commercially viable price point, is pleased to announce the agreement by the UK Environment Agency to revise AFC Energy's Research and Development permit for the export and sale of low carbon hydrogen produced from the Company's pilot ammonia cracking plant to hydrogen off-takers. This accelerates revenue generation by AFC Energy from low carbon hydrogen production by a number of months.
This revision, agreed by the Environment Agency, evidences the significant progress AFC Energy has made in producing ISO 14687 grade D (99.97% pure hydrogen) in volume and the robustness of our internal safety protocols and procedures. It also provides further flexibility in the timing of the relocation of the Dunsfold pilot cracking plant as the training of operatives in a live environment can now be conducted at Dunsfold.
AFC Energy continues to work with its Joint Venture ("JV") partner, Industrial Chemicals Group Ltd (ICL), to establish hydrogen production, through multiple Hy-5 ammonia cracker units from AFC Energy (each capable of producing up to 500kg of hydrogen per day), at ICL's facility in Port Clarence, Middlesborough. The JV is engaged with the UK Environment Agency at both local and central levels to create a framework for future deployments, across the UK, of AFC Energy's future Hy-5 units through accelerated permitting.
The pilot ammonia cracker site at Dunsfold is capable of producing up to 300kg of hydrogen per day in its current configuration.
John Wilson, CEO of AFC Energy Plc, commented:
"We are delighted to have agreement from the Environment Agency to enable the export and sale of our own low carbon hydrogen produced from our ammonia cracker at our Dunsfold facility. This accelerates revenue generation for AFC Energy, from hydrogen production, by a number of months."
